I saw it on Christmas Day. Some of the deliberate changes were irksome: Pete Seegar was not present when Bob visited Woody Guthrie; "Judas" was shouted in the UK not at Newport, Suze (Sylvie inthe move) was not at Newport, etc. That being said, I thought it was very good and I'm saying that as a serious Dylan fan for about 50 years. Chalamet (yes, probably an obnoxious person but a good actor); and Edward Norton as Seegar were both excellent. I too am generally opposed to musical biopics, I thought the Queen and the Elvis ones were total wastes of time and I was skeptical about this but I have to say it did capture early-period Dylan in a good way. 4 stars.

Going to the game next Monday. The missus, the son and his girlfriend attending. Our thing now is to travel to a Mets game to see a home team we’ve not seen before. Also seeing something at the Toronto Film Festival since we’re there.

Went with four also. Spalding Gray had a rare film role in it.

It was okay, just okay. Love and Theft, however, is pretty great.

Both great movies. I'll add a few I've recently seen: Origins (based on Isabelle WIlkerson's amazing book, CASTE) Anatomy of a Fall, a French movie (with most of the dialogue being in English) that had me guessing all through it. Fallen Leaves (a movie from Finland with a couple of amazing performances). Also, like the two cited by Irish, very thoughtful. American Fiction, really fun and, being in the publishing biz, pretty accurate in too many respects.

Opposite Fun Fact: When the Oscar nominations were announced we realized we had seen 9 of the 10 Best Picture nominees, all in a theater except for Maestro. So, Saturday we went to see the lone holdout, Anatomy of a Fall (really good). Have not seen the Indiana Jones movie.

I saw it in the theater. Yes, long, but beautiful with great Robbie Robertson music and some wonderful performances. I had read the book - Scorsese cut out much of the birth of the FBI stuff which would’ve made it longer. I liked it a lot.

Agreed. It was delightful. Paul Giamatti was great as usual.

Watched it this evening and enjoyed it. Great performances and an ending that hints at more. I’ve been a Martin McDonaugh fan for a while. The plays The Beauty Queen of Leenane; The Lieutenant of Inishmore and Hangmen were all good as are the films In Bruges and 3 Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri plus this one. There are several more I haven’t seen but his work is always worth checking out.

It was just okay. Saw it when it was released, haven't thought about it since.
